Tracy, a tenured professor in FAU’s School of Communication and
Multimedia Studies, has become infamous for questioning through his blog
— MemoryHole — the legitimacy of the 2012 shootings at Sandy Hook
Elementary School in Connecticut that resulted in the deaths of 20
children and six adults.

Further, he has suggested that trained “crisis actors” may have been posing as traumatized students and families.

And he doesn’t stop there. He also challenges the authenticity of the
Boston Marathon bombing and Washington Navy Yard shooting in 2013, and
yes, even the recent shootings in San Bernardino, Calif.

FAU, unable to pierce Tracy’s tenure shield, was resigned to doing its best to distance itself from Tracy and his rantings.

Dr. James Tracy was a highly regarded professor of media studies who’s job it was to critically analyze the media reporting of significant events. For unknown reasons, personally sharing honest analysis of the Sandy Hook event triggered a media attack on Dr. Tracy.

The media began to pressure the university in which he was a tenured professor and labeled him the ‘Conspiracy Professor.’
